The exact opposite has happened. and in fact the frequency of drought in the 1950’s was 50%, not 5% as Hansen claimed. How could he make a mistake that bad, and not be called out on it by the New York Times?

There is no correlation between drought and the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Why aren’t climate scientists interested in doing some actual research, and finding out what caused the 1934 global drought – rather than just blaming farmers in Oklahoma for it like they usually do.

“How could he make a mistake that bad, and not be called out on it by the New York Times?”

Because the Times is not in the business of selling the truth, they are in the business of selling advertisements. Expecting the get the truth from newspapers is like expecting to buy shoes at the quicky oil change garage.

There are very, very few real Climate Scientists… by far most are just hacks with some ScYience Background.. sucked into the Politics of Climate Change… desire to change the World bullshit with a dose of Fake grEEn..

Everyone wants a clean World…

Google the backgrounds on some of these IPCC Panel folks who do all the editing.. direct the Media Narrative.. most are total hacks .. have ZERO Field Experience… sit in their mohagany offices transmogrifying data…

Jo Nova has a report on the work of a retired scientist. He is in Australia and validates the findings of a scientist in Germany. (Reported at NoTricksZone.)

The last couple of days I posted on an 8.5 year side-by-side test conducted by German veteran meteorologist Klaus Hager, see here and here. The test compared traditional glass mercury thermometer measurement stations to the new electronic measurement system, whose implementation began at Germany’s approximately 2000 surface stations in 1985 and concluded around 2000.

Hager’s test results showed that on average the new electronic measurement system produced warmer temperature readings: a whopping mean of 0.93°C warmer. The question is: Is this detectable in Germany’s temperature dataset? Do we see a temperature jump during the time the new “warmer” system was put into operation (1985 – 2000)? The answer is: absolutely!

He also discusses the effect of drought on temperature. The more rain, the less chance of a high maximum. The sun’s energy goes into evaporating the moisture in the ground instead.

Just to add in the other cause of ‘adjustments’
From Frank Lansner who actually is using the original data in his research:

Trasher, Thank you for comment!
You write: “Did you adjust the raw data for TOBS? ”
TOBS TOBS TOBS
This is a FINE thing about working with ORIGINAL YEARBOOKS, everyone should try it..
In the year books you can see exactly when data was recorded. You can see IF the TOBS actually changes. And do you know what? TOBS HARDLY EVER CHANGE !
Therefore, if someone suggests that “oh this adjustment is probably due to TOBS”, then you should say: “No, its probably NOT ”
Reality is – and at some point i will make a writing on TOBS issues found in original documentation – that after the early 20´th century TOBS changes are rare. We may have such an issue with some of the Dutch stations and therefore i have used averages of 8,14,19 hour reading all the way, exactly to avoid this rare TOBS issue. This is explined in the Netherland article.

And another bit of information on the problem with the electronic instruments:

Absolutely correct that electronic thermometers record transient temperature that is not captured by traditional thermometers. The UK’s record July temperature this year alongside the runways at Heathrow Airport – by around 0.1 deg C – and widely PR’d by the Met Office was seperately checked and analysed in detail in the Met Office records.

That found that there was a temperature spike of 0.9 deg which lasted just 2 minutes before dropping back to the previous hour’s temperatures. The met Office records temperatures at 2 minute intervals. Further research into this showed a wind direction change for just a few minutes during this heat spike and the found that coincidentally a Boeing Dreamliner was maonoevering on the taxiway adjacent to the thermometer.

Given how determinedly warmist the Met office is it is not surprising that they did not find it all curious that the temperature rose by 0.9 deg C for a two minute period – and equally so that they would, with not the least scientific embarrassment claim this to be a New Record and Proof of ‘Global warming’.

Yep. Destroy the family & Christianity seems to be the plan.
A homogeneous remnant (5%?) serf population on every continent?
The Hunger Games is where they’re herding us?
Pray for Putin?
God only knows.
JD.

Yep. The vast majority coming to the EU are young fit solo males.
& the West has been bombing & invading 7 Muslim countries on the basis of lies for the past 14 years, unless you want to go back to Sykes-Picot, or the crusades. 🙂
The world is becoming a madhouse.

A lengthy, frank and open discussion of AGW with Smithsonian’s Dr. Kenneth M. Towe on ResearchGate reveals how humans were “dehumanized” and “internationalized“ to save the world from nuclear annihilation after WWII.

In discussing the possibility that “A natural solar eruption today might trigger a retaliatory nuclear exchange that would literally DESTROY MODERN CIVILIZATION,” Smithsonian’s Dr. Kenneth M. Towe said “If a solar storm occurred today, we will have had forecasts already that it was coming. No nuclear attack will happen…at least for that reason, because the world will know in advance that communications can be disrupted.”

When questioned about the reliability of solar storm forecasts and sharing those forecasts with the leaders of all other nuclear nations – China, England, France, India, Iran, Israel, Japan, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, South Africa, etc. . . .

LOCK-STEP, CONSENSUS SCIENCE probably begins in that worldwide council of frightened leaders of nuclear nations trying to avoid nuclear annihilation by promoting falsehoods about the source of energy (E) stored as mass (m) in cores heavy atoms, some planets, ordinary stars and galaxies:
